Harry is a young director from the South of England. He has spearheaded many ambitious projects over the years, utilizing what he can on tight budgets. He has always been keen to make as much as possible and learn through the process, growing with each new film he makes.
We have met many obstacles along the journey of this film and adapted to overcome them. A debut feature film for us all, this was an amazing experience and we were so lucky to have still been able to make it during such a difficult time.
I wanted this film to explore the community surrounding a corner shop and the life that exists behind the counter. This store is very much a representation of the past, with a much more personal approach to shopkeeping. The contrast between this and the modern "Hypermark" will hopefully spark a conversation about how we want our high streets to look in the future. I wanted to really delve into themes of loneliness and human connection, in a narrative that is set within the social issue of Britain's dying high streets.
